"Time to get up. Got a job for you and Valor."

Seyena groans, slowly sitting up. "Whassit?" Her words were slow and somewhat slurred.
She rubbed her eyes, giving a sigh.

She then hears Chris' statement. "Plague medicine, for the plague city. How do you know we won't catch it?"

[Blade Master Model 42]

"It's important, Valor. We have... some... plague medicine that needs to get back to town. Seyena can get it back fastest, and you've been elected to ride with her. Just in case of trouble."

Valor distractedly rubbed at his eyes with the heel of his palm. "Yeah, okay. Sure. Can't send one person alone, too dangerous. Lemme jus' pack up."

Valor had stood up and was halfway done packing his bedroll before anything occurred to him. "Wait, plague medicine?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"I don't know that you won't, Seyena. But it needs to get there. Let me reconstruct the scenario for you."

Chris folded his hands behind his back.

"I'm not sure if either of you noticed last night, but a person rode through the forest past our camp twice. Gregor and I investigated a bit initially, then came back to camp. Adrien wanted to intercept the rider so I came with him. Once we were on the path, he suggested we pounce the rider. I agreed on the thought that we would simply stop him, grab him, and interrogate him."

"Of course, Adrien being Adrien, he attempted to kill the man outright by throwing an axe at him."

"So I tackled the rider  - a young Kesselring messenger named Roy, I found out afterward - off of the horse to try and keep him from getting hit, and ended up breaking his neck in the fall... and shattering the flasks of plague medicine that no doubt were being sent by Lady Prixima as a relief effort. This waterskin is all we could save from the mess. It's important that we get what we can back to the town. I'll explain to Prixima what happened and take any heat if necessary."

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor stood in open mouthed disbelief at Chris' tale as it unfolded. "...That man is dangerously insane. Maybe I should subdue him before Seyena and I head for... Vilino? That's the name of the city nearby with all the tents, right?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris nodded.

"Yes, that's the one. As for Adrien, don't waste time finding him. It's not that important. Yet."

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena was speechless for a few seconds. "You KILLED a Kesselring soldier, who was delivering PLAGUE medicine to a destroyed city..."

She buried her face in her hands, groaning.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor nodded in return. "Alright, I guess I'm ready to go as soon an Seyena is." Valor gazed forlornly at the small, unimpressive skin filled with medicine. Well, filled wasn't the right word. "I wonder if there are any alchemists in that tent field who'd be able to whip up more..."

Seyena was speechless for a few seconds. "You KILLED a Kesselring soldier, who was delivering PLAGUE medicine to a destroyed city..."

She buried her face in her hands, groaning.

"I have never seen a job go so unerringly badly before. Not even once."

[CrimsonEon]

Olison turned a bit in his sleep, and lightly grasped his lance which he kept by his side.
: _{"Ghn. Tk hm pss th moat... Th men a' th fort cn take care..."}

[Blade Master Model 42]

Valor noticed Olison moving around, muttering to himself. "He's sure to be thrilled with the news when he wakes up." Valor sighed, and resumed packing his supplies. "Let's just hope that Prixima is reasonable and only hangs Adrien by his entrails."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Yes. I know, Seyena. This job has indeed been a disaster since the first two leaders of that mercenary company died or disappeared."

[Gamerboy4life]

"Yes. I know, Seyena. This job has indeed been a disaster since the first two leaders of that mercenary company died or disappeared."

"Yes, it has. Anyway, Valor, you have the medicine, right? Let's take care of this." She says, quickly strapping on her armor and grabbing her lance as she mounted her pegasus, offering him a hand up.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris handed the medicine to Valor, then laced his hands together to offer Valor a step up onto the horse's back.

[Sirus]

Gregor, seeing that they were about to take off, ran over.

: "Hold up, you three! Charlotte said something about wanting to go with Seyena instead...assuming she's still awake."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Chris paused for a moment.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea. No offense to Charlotte, but it might be better to have someone who can handle themselves in close quarters. Just in case. However, if she really wants to go and Valor doesn't want to, well, it's up to them."

Chris paused for a moment.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea. No offense to Charlotte, but it might be better to have someone who can handle themselves in close quarters. Just in case. However, if she really wants to go and Valor doesn't want to, well, it's up to them."

"Pretty much. I'm not much in the fighting department, and unless she can shoot really well, I don't think we would do well in a fight against bigger opponents."
